Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
6 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup pecans (chopped)
6 - 7 thick slices French bread (about 3/4 inches thick)
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Grease a 9" x 13" pan.
  • Over low heat, combine the brown sugar, light corn syrup, butter, and whipping cream in a medium saucepan.
  • Keeping the heat on low (letting it get too hot is bad - and don't let it boil!), stir constantly until the butter is melted and the ingredients are smooth.
  • Remove from heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla.
  • Pour the warm caramel mixture into a 9" x 13" pan.
  • Sprinkle the pecans over the top.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, salt, the other 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and cinnamon.
  • Dip the bread into the egg mixture, making sure each piece is well-coated. You want to soak up all of the mixture with your six or seven slices of bread.
  • Lay the bread in the pan, over the caramel and pecan mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • It's morning! Ready for some breakfast? Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • Remove the cover from the pan and bake for 20 minutes, until the bottom is bubbling and the toast is golden brown.
  • Let stand for a couple of minutes, then invert onto a platter.
  • Eat right away!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread that is slightly stale, as this will absorb the egg mixture better and result in a more flavorful French toast.
  • If you don't have a loaf pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Be sure to whisk the egg mixture until it is well combined.
  • If you want a sweeter French toast, you can add a tablespoon or two of sugar to the egg mixture.
  • You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Overnight French toast is a delicious and easy breakfast that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
